Description

New IR observations of the cool shell around eta Car between 3.7 and 12.2 μm are presented. Assuming circular symmetry and Gaussian intensity distribution of the source half-flux diameters are derived which increase smoothly with wave-length from 2.7 arcsec at 3.7 μm, 4.8 arcsec at 8.1 μm, 5.4 arcsec at 9.6 μm to 6.5 arcsec at 12.2 μm.
